In Men At Arms, did you enjoy ...

... the sharp wit and clever humor?

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

If you loved the razor-sharp dialogue and comedic timing of Men At Arms, you'll have a blast with Good Omens. The banter between Aziraphale and Crowley, the angel and demon duo, is every bit as witty and irreverent as the Watch's repartee. The book gleefully pokes fun at everything from bureaucracy to the apocalypse, much as Pratchett lampoons Ankh-Morpork's police force.

... the dynamic ensemble cast?

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

If the camaraderie and chaos of the Night Watch drew you in, Guards! Guards! brings together a mismatched yet lovable group of characters—Vimes, Carrot, Colon, and Nobby—on their first big mission. Watching this ragtag team stumble, squabble, and ultimately come together offers the same warm, ensemble-driven humor and adventure.

... the detailed, playful worldbuilding?

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde

If you appreciated the rich, quirky world of Ankh-Morpork, The Eyre Affair offers an alternate Britain where literature is policed, dodos are pets, and bookworms are literal. Thursday Next's adventures through a universe brimming with oddball rules and sly references will delight anyone who savored Pratchett's imaginative cityscape.

... the morally complex and ambiguous heroes?

City Of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett

If you were fascinated by Vimes's moral dilemmas and the Watch's sometimes-questionable methods, City of Stairs introduces you to Shara Komayd, an investigator navigating gods, miracles, and political intrigue. Her choices are rarely black and white, and the novel explores the gray areas of justice and loyalty in a way reminiscent of Pratchett's take on law and order.

... the blend of urban fantasy with a police procedural?

Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch

If you enjoyed the mix of magic, mystery, and policing in Men At Arms, Rivers of London follows Peter Grant, a rookie cop who stumbles into the magical side of London policing. The blend of supernatural crime-solving, dry humor, and city life will feel instantly familiar and utterly entertaining.
